Application October 29, 1951, Serial No. 253,614

4 Claims.

This invention relates to a tie holder.

The object of this invention is to provide means for securing a necktieagainst the shirt of a wearer to prevent its displacement.

A further object of this invention is to provide a tie holder which isreadily removable when not in use.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the followingspecification.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a tie holder embodying thepresent invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged front elevation illustrating the securing of thetie holder in the pocket.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary side elevation in section of the tie holder.

Figure 4 is a side elevation partially in section of a modified form ofthe tie holder.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of a further modification of this tieholder.

Figure 6 is a front elevation of a further modifled form of thisinvention.

Figure '7 is a perspective view of the pocket adapted to receive the tieholder.

Referring now to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 7, wherein the principal embodimentis illustrated, a shirt Ill, of any type well known to those skilled inthe art, is provided with a pocket II which pocket, on the side adjacentthe necktie It, has

a seam l6 separated, as at It, to slidably receive one extremity of thetie holder 20. The tie holder 20 is preferably of the same material asthe shirt [0, and is provided at the other extremity with a snap 22adapted to secure this extremity to the shirt l9. As clearly illustratedin Figure 1, the snap 22 is positioned below the separation I8 in thepocket l2. This provides a greater surface of the tie holder 2% bearingagainst the tie l4, preventing the lower extremity of the tie from unduemovement. The first mentioned extremity of the tie holder slidably fitsinto the separation I8 in the pocket 62, and this extremity is rolled,as seen in Figure 3, and stitched to provide an enlarged portion 24thereon. This enlarged portion 24 is preferably formed of sufficientsize so that it will not slip through the separation l8 in the pocket.

By providing the slidable relationship between the tie holder 20 and thepocket l2, it is readily apparent that when the tie holder is not inuse, it may be withdrawn through the separation l8 and retained in thepocket 12, or removed entirely from the shirt.

Referring now to Figure 4, a modified form 2 of the tie holder isillustrated wherein a rod 26 of suitable material is inserted in theextremity 24 of the tie holder, which extremity is folded back andstitched to the body of the tie holder, securing the rod 26 therein.

Referring to Figure 5, it is, of course, apparent that instead ofutilizing snap 22 to retain the holder to the shirt Ill, the holder maybe provided with a button hole 28 adapted to be secured to a suitablebutton provided on shirt IB.

Referring now to Figure 6, the shirt It in this embodiment is providedwith two pockets 39 and 32, each of which is provided with a separation34 and 36 in the pockets into each of which an extremity of the tieholder 38 will project. Inside of each pocket is provided holding meanssuch as snaps to and 42. In this modified form of the invention, it isapparent that the tie holder can be withdrawn when not in use intoeither pocket, or may be completely removed from the shirt Ill.

While what hereinbefore has been described as a preferred embodiment ofthis invention, it is readily apparent that changes in the size, shapeand disposition of the component elements can be resorted to withoutdeparting from the scope of this invention and the appended claims.

What is claimed is:

1. In a shirt having a stitched pocket thereon, the combination withsaid pocket of: means forming a separation in the stitching of ,saidpocket, a tie holder removably inserted into said separation at oneextremity, means for releasably securing the remaining extremity of saidtie holder to said shirt forming a loop to secure the lower extremity ofa necktie to said shirt.

2. In a shirt having a stitched pocket thereon, the combination withsaid pocket of: means forming a separation in the stitching of saidpocket, a tie holder removably inserted into said separation at oneextremity, means forming an enlargement on the above mentioned extremitypreventing its passing through said separation in said stitching, meansfor releasably securing the remaining extremity of said tie holder tosaid shirt forming at p to secure the lower extremity of a necktie tosaid shirt.

3. In a shirt having a, stitched pocket thereon, the combination withsaid pocket of: means forming a separation in the stitching of saidpocket, a tie holder removably inserted into said separation at oneextremity, means forming an enlargement on the above mentioned extremitypreventing its passing through said separation said pocket to secure thelower extremity of a 5 necktie to said shirt.

4. In a shirt having a pair of stitched pockets symmetrically disposedon the front of said shirt, the combination with said pockets of: meansforming separations in the stitching of each pocket on the sides of saidpockets adjacent one another, a tie holder having one extremityprojecting through each of said separations, means disposed in eachpocket for releasably securing 4 the extremity of said tie holderprojecting into said pocket.
